Programme Notes

Sphoera (1993) Daniel Teruggi

Daniel Teruggi (b1952, La Plata,Argentina) studied composition
in Argentina and France. He is the new director of the Groupe de
Récherches de Musique in Paris.

Teruggi uses air, water, fire, and earth as metaphors for creating
poetic electronic sound worlds.

You koto my head(1986) Dennis Patrick

You koto my head references the popular song title "you go to my
head". The solo electronic koto instrument is "played" in musical
structures that were created by computer algorithms.

Dennis Patrick directs the University of Toronto’s Electro-acoustic
Music Studio (UTEMS) and is a member of the Theory and
Composition Division of the Faculty of Music.

Synchronisms No. 10 (1994) Mario Davidovsky

Mario Davidovysky joined the Harvard University faculty in 1994.
Born in Mendanos, Argentina (1934), he first came to America at
the suggestion of Aaron Copland to study at Tanglewood. He
settled in New York City in 1960 and began a close association
with the Columbia Princeton Electronic Music Center. He is
perhaps most widely recognized for his series of Synchronisms for
instrument(s) and tape, and received the Pulitzer Prize in 1971 for
Synchronism No.6 for piano and tape.

Aaron Brock graduated last year with a Bachelor of Music degree
in performance and composition from the University of Toronto.
He has studied guitar with Norbert Kraft, Dr. Alvin Tung and Eli
Kassner. In 1996 he performed Antonio Vivaldi's concerto for

guitar in D major with the Toronto Senior Strings conducted by
Victor Feldbrill. As a composer, his String Quartet No.1 was
premiered by the St. Lawrence String Quartet. Aaron is currently
studying with Eli Kassner in the Master of Music in Performance
program at the University of Toronto.

Possible Spaces (no.1, 3, 4) 1995-97 Gustav Ciamaga

A continuing series of electroacoustic pieces each exploring a
singular mood and/or compositional strategy. (No.1: a one-part
invention, no.3: musique concrete, no.4: minimalism)

Espaces inhabitables (1967) Francois Bayle

From 1966 to 1997, Bayle was the director of the Groupe de
Récherches Musicales of the French Radio (ORTF). As Pierre
Schaeffer’s successor, Bayle continued to develop the techniques
and aesthetics of "musique concrete" . In Espaces, he creates
surrealistic landscapes which are meant to evoke the fastasy world of
Jules Verne.

Synchronisms No. 9 (1988) Mario Davidovsky

Sarah Pratt is currently in her 2"4 year of the Bachelor of Music
Degree in Performance at the Faculty of Music and studies with
David Zafer. Sarah has won numerous scholarships and awards from
the Kiwanis Music Festival, including 1* place at the provincial level
in 1995. Sarah is a member of the Galiano String Quartet, which won
first place in this year’s Kiwanis Festival.
